Description

"The Worst Journey in the World: Antarctic, 1910-1913" by Apsley Cherry-Garrard is a memoir published in 1922. It chronicles Robert Falcon Scott's doomed Terra Nova expedition to the South Pole. Cherry-Garrard recounts a harrowing winter journey through complete darkness to collect penguin eggs, then describes the tragic failure to rendezvous with Scott's polar party on their return. The book frankly examines the expedition's disastrous outcome and explores profound questions about human suffering, heroism, and sacrifice under extreme conditions.
